Sir/Madam;

Anyone who can help me with my problems in Embedded SQL using
Linux C.. Im having trouble dealing with multiple *.e files in my
project with different database connections. When Im trying to
compile my project using gcc compiler the compiler complains about
multiple definitions of gds_database and gds_trans. Below are the
codes, what or where do i made an error?
